Abstract:
This study dealt with the subject of provisions related to polygamy - a jurisprudential
study - after knowing the term marriage and marriage, both in language and in
Sharia, it touched on the legality of polygamy and its conditions, and the opinions
of some contemporary scholars on it, then it dealt with the issues and rulings related
to polygamy through the Holy Qur’an And the Sunnah of the Prophet, and the
sayings of scholars according to the limits of the study.
As I learned that the term “marriage” is one of the Qur’anic terms, so the jurists titled
their books with the Book of Marriage, and that the use of the term “marriage” is a
modern term that is commonly used with contemporary jurists. Moreover, the issue
of polygamy has received the attention of scholars, both in recent times and in the
past. There have been long discussions about its legality and the wisdom of it, even
though the Holy Qur’an and the verbal and practical Sunnah of the Prophet were
separated in its legislation and that it is a divine instinct.
The study also dealt with the oath and its provisions, as its basis is justice between
wives in terms of alimony, clothing, accommodation, and other material matters, as
the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Oh God,
this is my oath in what I possess, so do not blame me for what you own or your
mother.”
The memorandum also presented other issues related to polygamy, such as the issue
of the wife's private housing, which is the cause of many cases
